New Rudy Ad Warns Of Death At Hands Of Muslims »
Posted by: Aidenag 2 years agoRudy Giuliani has a new ad in New Hampshire and Florida, the only two January states left that he's contesting. The ad's message is simple, and shows just how blatant the Rudy campaign has become in their appeals to fear.

Jan. 3, 2008, 3:53 p.m.Glad you approved of the message there Rudy. Shows just how low you are.
Your buddy in office Bush. Yeah, he started after OBL with a lot of fanfare and flag waving. How many hundreds of thousands have died in his "supposed fight on terrorism." We are worse off now than we were then. Deeper in debt and no closer to solving the "terrorist" threat than we were before. We have created a lot more hatred though. I guess that is what you mean by a leader with experience. You clown. You have over played what you did,while underplaying the heroics of the fire and police depts. Who triumphed in spite of you, not because of you.
Yeah just what we need another fool in the Whitehouse. NOOOOOOOOO...
Go have another affair and amuse yourself. Leave America to the true leaders.
I'm cowboygrandpa and have approved this message.
Thanks Aidenag

Jan. 3, 2008, 4:23 p.m.It's the same as before: play to our fear. Remember what Roosevelt said:
"the only thing we have to fear is fear itself - nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance."
Take an example: do the Israelis, who have experienced far more terrorist attacks than us cowering in fear every day? This is why we have let our Constitutional freedoms be attacked: nameless fear.

Jan. 3, 2008, 5:59 p.m.I hate to admit this; but should there be a bombing or catastrophe of some sort in the world that takes the lives of more Americans, I would expect Guiliani and the other fearmongers to exploit it for their self-serving ends.
As if Rudy hasn't already squeezed every drop of glory from his sterling performance during 9-11...

Jan. 3, 2008, 6:46 p.m.He still doesn't get it, does he? People have had their fill of fear-mongering! "We have nothing to fear, but fear itself!" Guiliani needs to go home a take care of his wife!
Why is it that politicians can't see themselves as others see them?
Thanks Mark, nice find!

Jan. 3, 2008, 7:29 p.m.Why throw away money on horror flicks when Rudy can scare you for free?
Hey, what's around that next corner? Rudy sez it's something really scary and will certainly kill you unless Captain 9/11 stops him/her/it/unpronounceable symbol. And he's the only one that knows how to stop it. Sorry Jack Bauer, Rudy's taking lead on this one.
That's all I need to hear - where do I get my Giuliani 2008 yard sign?

Jan. 3, 2008, 7:38 p.m.Rudy is such a bad A**, he will kick every Muslim Radical while their begging for alms.
My only question which side under the bed do Republicans hide under, the left or right side? Rudy walking around, with face mask on during 9/11 and later saying he was sucking in more toxic air than the workers. That apparently is his finest attribute for running for President, well that and locating other men's wives.

Jan. 3, 2008, 7:39 p.m.The sleazy used car salesman is at it again. He will gladly sell you an old clunker at the low, low price of only twice what it's worth. Warranty? You want a warranty? For twice the cost of the car, you get an extended warranty good for the next ten minutes.
He's an opportunist who is ready to exploit anything to his advantage. His heroic actions on 9/11? Well, he was there. Do you think anyone else could have done as well? Probably at least half the people in the US would have been able to accomplish as much. He's a nutter. Let him go home to his wife. If he can remember which woman that is.

Jan. 3, 2008, 7:45 p.m.There is a hidden message-If "Obama" is the democratic candidate-there should be a fear in every American heart! The terrorist have stated they will get us from the inside out. What the hell is wrong with the American who supports this man? Who would even think of voting for someone named "Obama"? I don't care what he says he stands for-he was educated by the muslim extremists-his father was an extremist-why isn't anybody questioning this man???

Jan. 3, 2008, 7:47 p.m.how soon we all forget the 3000 families missing loved ones, the bodies bouncing off the pavement the death and destruction. The radical Islamic movement is huge and coming to your neighborhood next. Rudy is not the person to lead us into the future but we should not forget that ad is correct in it's assertion that there are millions of people who would love to blow up time sq. now please don't go on about how it's all our fault, the 80's and our involvement in afghanistan, yes we armed the mushadeen and they are fighting us with our own weapons. Going to Iraq was wrong but the fact remains they want us dead.

Jan. 3, 2008, 9:11 p.m.Sure hope they had the right guys to begin with...
"WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A suspect in the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole in Yemen said he was tortured into admitting responsibility for that attack and others, according to a hearing transcript the Pentagon released Friday.
Abd al Rahim Hussein Mohammed al Nashiri, a Saudi Arabian detainee held by the United States at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, denied participating in the Cole attack. Al Nashiri said he "was tortured into confession, and once he made a confession his captors were happy and they stopped questioning him," according to a statement read at his hearing. "Also, the detainee states that he made up stories during the torture in order to get [it] to stop."

I called him Rudolph instead of Rudy, because I hate that kind of plain folks act, by politicians, especially one as despicable as Rudolph Giuliani.

You might begin with "Troubling Questions in Troubling Times," by James S. Adam, October 5, 2001. It deals with the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, and the 2001 attacks, although the information on the latter is extremely outdated. Click http://www.serendipity.li/wot/adam.htm

Jan. 4, 2008, 1:04 a.m.Rudy is a GW Bush wannabe who would give us another 4-8 yrs of inept, corrupt govt. I (sorry America - stupid of me) voted for GWB & regret every minute of it. Unfortunately, Rudy is most likely to be the Repub. nominee. The only way I can see the Repubs. winning is if he chose McCain as his VP running mate. I think Clinton will win the Dem. nomination & if she chooses Obama as her VP they will be unbeatable. The Dems are also prob going to win big in Congress again & gain full control of the two houses. Hopefully the next 4-8 yrs will help heal what the last 7 yrs damaged.

Jan. 4, 2008, 2:09 a.m.The Twin Trade Towers were scheduled to be dismantled by 2007, at a cost of 5.6 billion dollars, due to galvanic corrosion. Explosive demolition was ruled out because of asbestos pollution. So a cheaper remedy was found, and Larry Silverstein made 4.6 billion dollars from the insurance, and nearly a billion dollars worth of gold and silver bullion disappeared.

"Before the smoke had cleared from around stricken South Tower, a mysterious explosion shot 550 feet into the air above the U.S. Customs Houste at WTC 6. See http://www.indymedia.org/es/2004/07/855929.shtml This is the most exhaustive and undeniable webpage yet, and it has the most links.

Jan. 4, 2008, 3:14 a.m.So Now...Rudy wants to be a hater and ride on GWB's hater tactics to win the election? Give me a break. I would not vote for that guy if he was the last man on earth, what a cheap shot. If that is the only thing he can think of that is pretty pathetic....and I am a Muslim. Good grief...astagfirallah.

Jan. 7, 2008, 5:37 p.m.So you're going to go after the entire congress and White House during the Clinton years? That's when the budget cuts for the air readiness happened. Before you go crazy with the negs, there was no reason to keep them so I agreed with them then. There was little to no threat at that time. That plus the Towers were really not thought of as a target. The whole mentality pre 911 was that hostage takers would make demands eventually to release the hostages. No one ever considered a massive attack like this before. Terrorists talked about it but no one ever thought they could get 19 or 20 guys to actually do it.

Jan. 4, 2008, 6:32 a.m.How could Rudy be so stupid to think that Americans need to be protected from radical Muslims. I guess Rudy has not heard that Islam is the "religion of peace". How politically incorrect of Rudy. My vote is going to a democrat because I know the democrats will embrace radical Muslims and the religion of peace.

rightfromwrong
Jan. 4, 2008, 8:07 a.m.he is a thug...he was just fortunate to be the mayor at the time of the attack. Don't forget that Bush's brother had the contract for security of the center and that the weekend before the attack there was no security. The only people allowed in were guys doing wiring.
The US administration was complicit in the attack in my opinion

Jan. 4, 2008, 8:29 a.m.It would have been enlightening to have secured the criminal evidence from 9-11. After all it was the worst aviation disaster, the worst architectural disaster and the greatest mass murder to have ever occurred in American history. One would think it might be useful in avoiding future architectural disasters to analyze the failures of the WTC steel considering these were the first steel framed building to ever collapse due to fire. Many universities asked for samples of WTC steel for analysis but were denied. Unfortunately this crime scene evidence was instead quickly shipped off shore for disposal by former criminal prosecutor Rudy Guiliani.

Jan. 4, 2008, 9:33 a.m.Jeezus what a Lunatic! Could there be anyone left stupid enough to believe this fearmongering crap? I thought bush kinda beat that horse to death...although I'm sure Julie's connected enough to have another 911 event staged to his advantage. Remember..."big brother" oops, I mean "big business" likes Julie, so if he's the guy that will use the military to their advantage, he's the guy we will be stuck with. With this country on the verge of recession, and him rattling his sabre at seemingly ALL muslims, I don't think America would last long with Julie at the wheel.

Jan. 4, 2008, 9:37 a.m.Well as Muslims, we now know who our enemies are and it doesn't make any difference to us that whether if GOP or Democrat candidate is elected, he will be pawn in the hands of Israel, and the down fall of America is in the hands of Israel too. Americans will never realize that until that happens.

Jan. 4, 2008, 10:14 a.m.How typically Giuliani. What a complet4e slime he is, kinda reminds me of a slightly smarter GWB. I fully expect him to make commercials holding dead babies next, with the crocodile tears rolling down his face, while he pledges to protect us from the real terrorists. He won't get one firefighters vote from NYC, they know him for the scum he is. When asked what he did on 9-12-01, he was dumbfounded and silent. Birds of a feather.

Jan. 4, 2008, 10:26 a.m.Alas, one can never "get poor" by playing the fear card.
The truly disheartening thing is that we have, as a nation, the chance, finally, to get out from under the deeply demoralizing scare tactics of Bush and Co., which have bread the very thing--threat--they were meant to dispel.
Yet Rudy--calculatingly, condescendingly--continues the game. It's super-cynical--and perverse.

We have at last a chance to get out from under the deeply demoralizing scare tactics of Bush and Co., which brought about the very thing--threat--they were meant to dispel.
Yet Rudy--calculatingly, cynically--goes back to the trough--and too many, especially those who, paradoxically, "require" an enemy to feel protected, will respond to the bait.
Don't be one of them!

Jan. 4, 2008, 10:42 a.m.The two democratic candidates that I have any respect for had to drop out. The presidential race has become a popularity contest instead of a contest for the person who is most qualified. Money and the press is what gets a candidate elected............so sad. Reminds me of Adalai Stevenson losing the presidential bid, who was extremely intelligent and qualified but could not win a popularity contest.

Jan. 4, 2008, 11 a.m.Guys I'm not a Rudy fan. However, what's wrong with using the fear of a terrorist attack? We live in a very different world than we did 40 years ago when most of you were in college. We're fighting a very evil force that wants nothing less that the extermination of America and our ideals. Then again, when you think of Rudy, most people think tough on crime, cleaned up New York and 9-11. Only the ultra right fixate on his three marriages and his stances on the gay lifestyle and abortion rights.
I think a far scarier ad would be a picture of Hillary in Washington taking the oath of office but with Bill's voice.

Jan. 4, 2008, 11:14 a.m.Any libertarians and populists, hoping Ron Paul will lead us out of the 9/11 wilderness, and restore the Constitution, are sadly mistaken. He is as much of a con man as Rudolph Giuliani. A group of Ron Paul supporters accused Rudolph Giuliani of planning the World Trade Center terrorism, and chanted "Rudy, Rudy, what did you do with the gold." On the Ron Paul website, a Mitt Romney supporter called it a "disgrace, and Ron Paul denied that the terrorism was an inside job. The government was merely incompetent.

Jan. 4, 2008, 11:54 a.m.Let's see. Two million people face foreclosures on their homes this year. Jobs are still going overseas. The border is still loose. The country pays 80 million per hour in interest to fat cat money lenders around the world because Congress won't control itself. The dollar is weak. Oil is high. And prices are rising. I think Rudy's priorities are a little mixed up.

Jan. 4, 2008, noonWe have more far"Important" things to worry about in America right now.
From the FBI Web site:
Inner City the males, ages 14 to 35, commit 56,6% of all violent crime in America, while they comprise less than 3,5% of the population, and contribute less than 1/10 of 1% to the gross national product. Please join the National association of black law officer's and tell your Congressman and Senator you want money from homeland security allocated to clean the "Criminal element" out of the inner cities.
Call now, before your to mother is "Beaten to death" for a "Couple of dollars", and your teenage daughter is repeatedly "Gang Raped" and "Sodomized" while your wife is forced to watch, or your son is "Murdered", just because some "Under privileged" Young gentleman thought he looked at him the "Wrong way". CALL NOW

Jan. 4, 2008, 12:35 p.m.I couldn't even read some of these comments as they are trash. RG is trash as well. He is enacting the same policies that GW Jr. did; to inspire fear and allow the government to take whatever action is necessary to secure our "freedom." Well, if securing our freedom means starting fraudulent wars to secure oil then we might as well re-write the constitution and let our current president stay in office.
The real enemy isn't the Muslim religion in general as this ad suggests, it is the extremists. The difference between muslims and christians is that their religion is less tolerant of interpretations and even those have a strangle hold on them by the religious leaders. It will never change as long as we have our foot, literal or not, on their soil.

Jan. 4, 2008, 12:54 p.m.Hmmm, what I want to know, is why, when there was a special BUNKER in WTC7 built for the sole purpose of protecting the Mayor of New York in an emergancy, he NEVER WENT THERE but went elsewhere! Unless Juliani knew something that we all didn't.
Hmmm, what I want to know, is why, when the Secret Service's number one priority is to protect the President at all costs, and it was common knowledge on the day of where he was, they just left the president sitting there like a sitting duck .... unless of course they knew somethign that we all didn't.
Hmmmm

The song comes to mind..We aint gonna take it..We aint gonna take it..anymore. 292,000 Democrats came out for the Iowa caucuses vs. 112,000 for the Republicans. People are sick and tired of this perverse way of thinking, and it's about time.

Jan. 4, 2008, 1:12 p.m.Rudy keeps beating the hell out of that 9/11 drum. But I wonder, just EXACTLY what is it he hopes to convince us of? What EXACTLY did he DO that was so great? OK - he was mayor of NYC at the time. BFD. What did he actually DO? Other than make sure that he was wherever there was a camera. Remember, that attack happened on HIS watch. How does that make him "prepared?" Anyone who pays the slightest bit of attention to this garbage is, I'm sorry to have to say, an idiot. His airing of Muslim radicals doing these dirty deeds MAY just pi*s them off some more and do more harm than good. I don't suppose he thought of that...

Jan. 4, 2008, 1:18 p.m.I find it VERY interesting that Ron Paul bested Rudi in Iowa. When Rudi is - according to the mainstream media anyway - a front runner and Dr. Paul is a marginal "kook" or some such. Even though Rudi (supposedly) didn't make an effort in Iowa, shouldn't his rather HUGE free media coverage have been sufficient to convey his message? I'd sure have thought so. Maybe he doesn't HAVE a message?

Jan. 4, 2008, 2:20 p.m.I bet that if Monica Lewinsky had sucked up to the Libs in the Iowa cockass she could have got more votes than Guliani. Monica Lewinsky is a true Democrat and has as much experience in the Oval office as Hillary. I got my vote Monica bumper sticker, do you? I can see it all now Ron Paul vs Monica Lewinsky for pres. Did you know that fire doesn't melt steel? Makes me wonder how they made the steel to build the WTC though. What are you wacko libs going to do when you don't have Bush to bash . . . have a WTC meltdown?
